Anxiety is very hard to deal with right now
Ive noticed recently my anxiety has shifted more to health stuff. Like if I think theres something wrong with me or a loved one, I cant get it under control. Like right now my mom has a headache and I think its from iron defiency. Which she has dealt with for a long time. So I know this isnt like life threatening yet cause she was at that point one time a while ago. But I just cant control myself right now. I cant eat or sleep. And its just little health things that set me off. I want to get control and try and function normally and happy again but it feels impossible. I just feel so exhausted and defeated right now and Idk what to do to deal with it anymore. Please if anyone has any tips please let me know, I welcome all the help I can get.

Hi. Sorry to hear that you are experiencing all this right now.
I dont know if this will help but one question I have used for health anxiety before is
......while you are thinking about all this what are you not thinking about?.....
I would be interested to know what your answer is.

@calmPaul281 thank you for responding I appreciate it. Im a little confused by your question. What am I not thinking about? Do you mean in those moments when I get anxious?
@Momos1017
Sorry to be confusing. I mean is there something else going on for you , which worrying yourself about your health is a distraction from?
Is there another issue which you are ignoring, not paying attention to. Something else causing you pain.
That was what I meant... hope that helps.
Let me know is it would help you
